Can u plz tell me who invented the internet and the history?

Question

I need ur help.

Answer 1

Al Gore

Answer 2

Although Gore never said that he "invented the Internet," he did say he "took the initiative in creating the Internet." Can that claim be substantiated? As we will see, Gore did indeed take an intellectual and legislative interest in promoting high-speed data networks in the United States, and he did this during the 1980s, at a time long before most members of the public - let alone most politicians - were thinking about such issues.

The Internet Society hosts a monograph called called "A Brief History of the Internet." (See http://www.isoc.org/internet-history/brief.html) The authors include some of the designers of the essential components of how the Internet works today:

Answer 3

Despite his ascertion, Al Gore, did NOT invent the Internet. There are two important parts that were designed over a 10 year period resulting in the basis of the Internet. First a system of interconnecting computers at different locations had to be developed. Second, a method to transmit data between computers connected to the network.

As why many things, the Internet was not invented or created my one individual. The first recorded concept came from a paper by J.C.R. Licklider of MIT in August 1962. However, this was just an idea, but it got folks thinking.

The Department of Defense (DoD), wanted to develop a computer system, connecting military installations that could still function after a nuclear attack. The idea was if one area was lost, then the remaining portions would still function. To this end, DARPA (DoD research group) started a project to interconnect computers in 1968. Thus the APRANET was created.

Leonard Kleinrock at MIT published the first paper on packet switching theory in July 1961, his group Network Measurement Center at UCLA was selected to be the first node on the ARPANET.

The second part, the transmission of data, was developed in 1974 in a paper by Vinton G. Cerf and Robert E. Kahn. The protocol designed was called TCP/IP, named from its core elements Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP). This was an important development as it defined how data would be "packaged", transmitted, and interconnection of computers, and routing. Routing being the method used to dynamically deliver the data to the correct computers.

With these two elements, the ARPANET was up and running. In 1983 ARPANET was split into two networks: MILNET for military use, and APRANET for research (universities).

Because of the growing traffic on the ARPANET, it was decided to privatize the core (backbone) of the network. In 1991, a group of companies created a network that users could subscribe to. In 1993, the National Science Foundation (NSF) stopped funding the network and it was to be maintained through private companies.

In 1991, Merit, IBM, and MCI started a
not-for-profit company named Advanced Networks and Services (ANS). By 1993 a new backbone was in place that replaced the NSFNET (formerly ARPANET). This was the start of what we now use and call, the Internet.

In 1973, at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), a scientist name Robert Metcalf developed a method to hardware computers together using cables.. His circuit board was based on a packet-switching wireless network used to connect computers across the Hawiian islands. This later became know as the Ethernet. Ethernet is the basic method in use today to create a computer network, and then to the Internet. Robert Mecalf left PARC and founded 3COM.

Answer 4

The fundamentals of an internet were first developed by the military and quickly moved into universities, as so much military research is done by universities. Just prior to PC development, universities had mainframes which were expensive, so they did contract computer work for banks, and they were put online to facilitate that. Once IBM developed the first PC's, and Bill Gates came to them with an operating system (DOS), the age of the personal computer began. At first, information had to be sent in a continuous package, meaning a dedicated point-to-point connection. Digital technology advancements by MIT enabled transferring info in packets, eliminating the need for a direct link, so the internet became possible on a larger scale, so schools were hooked up, then public libraries, and as broadband capacity increased, everything got wired up. You know the rest.

Answer 5

I agree with all of what Michael said EXCEPT for the last sentence wich state: the US governement.

I belive is text(see link below) is quite right but is personnal comment make me think he's got the wrong conclusion.

Internet was really created as a communications network for study and research. That the US government "popularized" the concept does not take the credit off the creators.

The US government is taking credit for everything anyways, except when it goes wrong, then they blame it on Canada, and we get to send troops to die and pick up the mess......

Give to Ceasar what is to Ceasar, and Internet to the people. Do not deform reality, it's complicated enough as it is.

Answer 6

The conceptual foundation for creation of the Internet was significantly developed by three individuals and a research conference, each of which changed the way we thought about technology by accurately predicting its future:

Vannevar Bush wrote the first visionary description of the potential uses for information technology with his description of the "memex" automated library system.
Norbert Wiener invented the field of Cybernetics, inspiring future researchers to focus on the use of technology to extend human capabilities.
The 1956 Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence conference crystallized the concept that technology was improving at an exponential rate, and provided the first serious consideration of the consequences.
Marshall McLuhan made the idea of a global village interconnected by an electronic nervous system part of our popular culture.
In 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik I, triggering US President Dwight Eisenhower to create the ARPA agency to regain the technological lead in the arms race. ARPA appointed J.C.R. Licklider to head the new IPTO organization with a mandate to further the research of the SAGE program and help protect the US against a space-based nuclear attack. Licklider evangelized within the IPTO about the potential benefits of a country-wide communications network, influencing his successors to hire Lawrence Roberts to implement his vision.

Roberts led development of the network, based on the new idea of packet switching discovered by Paul Baran at RAND, and a few years later by Donald Davies at the UK National Physical Laboratory. A special computer called an Interface Message Processor was developed to realize the design, and the ARPANET went live in early October, 1969. The first communications were between Leonard Kleinrock's research center at the University of California at Los Angeles, and Douglas Engelbart's center at the Stanford Research Institute.

The first networking protocol used on the ARPANET was the Network Control Program. In 1983, it was replaced with the TCP/IP protocol developed by Robert Kahn, Vinton Cerf, and others, which quickly became the most widely used network protocol in the world.

In 1990, the ARPANET was retired and transferred to the NSFNET. The NSFNET was soon connected to the CSNET, which linked Universities around North America, and then to the EUnet, which connected research facilities in Europe. Thanks in part to the NSF's enlightened management, and fueled by the popularity of the web, the use of the Internet exploded after 1990, causing the US Government to transfer management to independent organizations starting in 1995.

And here we are.

Answer 7

JCR Licklider invented the internet because he imagined a database of computers all accessing a shared network of information.

Answer 8

Look it up on the internet. It will tell you it wasn't Al Gore.

Answer 9

Check out a guy named Vint Cerf.

Answer 10

Al Gore in his basement, he wanted quicker porn
